Common Namenonaprenyl diphosphate
DescriptionNonaprenyl diphosphate is a polyisoprenoid compound classified within the chemical class of diphosphate esters. Its structure consists of a long chain of isoprene units, specifically nine isoprene units, linked by diphosphate groups, which play a crucial role in various biosynthetic pathways. Nonaprenyl diphosphate is synthesized by enzymes such as nonaprenyl diphosphate synthase (Nds), which is encoded by genes like PAM18_4662, and is critical for determining the number of isoprenoid units in coenzyme Q9 (CoQ9) biosynthesis (PMID:30989356 ). Additionally, it is formed through the condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) by octaprenyl diphosphate synthase (IspB), which also produces octaprenyl diphosphate (PMID:29191106 ). Furthermore, nonaprenyl diphosphate synthase (E-C45) is involved in the synthesis of nonaprenyl diphosphate, alongside geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (E-C20) (PMID:32495977 ). This compound plays a significant role in the assembly of larger isoprenoid molecules, contributing to various biological functions.
